INAR 326: ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS
Assist. Prof. Dr. Papatya Nur Dökmeci Yörükoğlu: Office: 106/2, [email protected]
Course Day/Time/Location: WEDNESDAY/12:00-15:00/MAVİ SALON
Overview:
This course concentrates on the basic concepts of acoustics and human hearing, behavior
of sound in enclosed spaces, the theories on architectural acoustics, and the basic
principles of noise control and acoustic comfort in buildings.
The objectives of this course are:
- To introduce basic concepts and principles of acoustics
- To describe the physical, physiological, and psychological principles of auditory perception
and the concept of acoustic comfort.
- To give an overview of architectural acoustics and environmental noise
- To explain the characteristics of spaces designed for effective listening, working, learning,
and other functions.
- To provide an understanding of the theories used in building acoustics
- To present the concepts and application of architectural acoustics in terms of acoustic
enhancement and noise control in enclosures.
At the end of this course, students should:
-Have gained an understanding of the basic concepts of acoustics, and auditory perception
-Have a comprehensive knowledge of theories used in architectural acoustics
-Be able to identify, discuss and resolve acoustical problems related to architectural
acoustics, and acoustic comfort.
-Be aware of the analysis and improvement techniques, as well as material usage and
applications relevant to architectural acoustics.
